Are we in right constructive path towards Telangana ?

One of my fellow Telangana forum member, Srinath asked:

are we in right constructive path towards Telangana ?

and

How much we as a individual or non-profit & non political organizations or as political parties have suceeded or laid a succesful path towards Telangana ?

I say:

Yes, we are on the path to Telangana State. But we may not be on a Contrcuctive path to build a better Telangana for the welfare & security of the people.

While fighting/demanding for separate state, we as individuals (or) not-for-profit & non-political organizations should not forget tounderstand the local problems & issues, articulate them to the local leaders/public representatives and govt. administrators, and try to find the solutions on regular basis. We, Telanganites are very much part of the Indian Union. Hence, we should try to collaborate with the Cental & State Govt. organizations in our own capacity to provide better services to people in the field of Education, Health, Livelihoods, etc.

We should not shun government programs & schemes saying that CM is a non-telangana (or) anti-telangana. We should not forget that in implementing govt. programs & schemes and running govt. admistrative organizations, there are thousands of people (officials & public representatives, majority of them are our own Telanganites) between C.M and a common man (benificier). Even after setting up Telangana State Govt. (at least in short-term), we will be working with same admistrative set up and same officials & public representatives except our own Telangana CM & Council of Ministers.

Hence, we, individuals (or) not-for-profit & non-political organizations should understand the local problems & issues and work in collaboration with govt. administration & organizations to find solutions.

To be frank in India, Government is ill-equipped and under-staffed to provide welfare & security services to all people in current scenario - growing population & urbanization, fast-growing economy, new commercial & residential establishments, fast-changing lifestyles, etc. Hence, we, individuals (or) not-for-profit & non-political organizations should chip in and take up responsibility in collaboration with the Govt. administration & organizations. Telangana is no exception to all the above said symptoms & scenarios.

Telangana State formation is a political process and we will succeed soon. We, as region/state can not take the approach of Gujjars (or) something like that and create the scenes (ఎలకల/పందికొక్కుల బాధకి ఇల్లు తగల బెట్టుకున్నట్లు!). Till Telangana State forms and even after also, we individuals (or)not-for-profit & non-political organizations should work with Govt. administratives (panchayat secretary, MRO, MDO, Collector, diff. department offcials at Mandal, Zilla, & state secretariat) & public representatives (ward-members, sarpanches, MPTCs, ZPTCs, MLAs, MPs, etc.).
